点评:Though my wife and I have dined at several Flemings restaurants in several locales, I would rate our experience on July 9 to celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary at the Scottsdale Road location the best of them all.
We ordered the Tomahawk Tuesday special consisting of a tender, mouthwatering 35-ounce bone-in ribeye cooked just the way we ordered it, choice of two salads, two sides, and two deserts. We opted for wedge salads, which were fresh, crisp, with just the right amount of dressing and bleu cheese, bacon, and juicy flavorful tomatoes; yummy pecorino creamed corn and loaded baked potato topped with all the fixin's, and finished with sumptuous molten lava cake served with vanilla ice cream and rich strawberry butter cake.
The food was superb, the decor elegant, the service prompt, timely, and attentive but not intrusive, and the ambience sophisticated, made the more so by the manager's admirable decision to play jazz throughout the evening at just the right volume: loud enough to enjoy, not so loud as to compete with conversation. This is a notable improvement over the increasingly common choice in so many venues to play club music or rock at earsplitting decibel levels which force patrons to shout to be heard by their companions. The choice to play classy jazz over screech- and-shriek thump is refreshing, in the way that dressing up to dine is not like slumming in shorts and tank top and flipflops at the local burger joint. All in all, a memorable night out to savor and well worth the price. In fact, I'll amend my opening sentence to say that our evening at the Scottsdale Flemings was our best night out in years.
翻译:虽然我和妻子曾在多个地方的多家 Flemings 餐厅用餐,但我认为 7 月 9 日在 Scottsdale Road 餐厅庆祝我们 52 周年结婚纪念日的体验是所有体验中最好的。
我们点了周二特餐,包括一份鲜嫩可口的 35 盎司带骨肋眼牛排,完全按照我们点的菜式烹制,还有两份沙拉、两份配菜和两份甜点供您选择。我们选择了楔形沙拉,新鲜香脆,配以适量的调料和蓝纹奶酪、培根和多汁可口的番茄;美味的佩科里诺奶油玉米和满满的烤土豆,上面撒满了各种配料,最后是丰盛的熔岩蛋糕,配以香草冰淇淋和浓郁的草莓黄油蛋糕。
食物很棒,装饰优雅,服务及时、周到但不打扰客人,氛围高雅,经理决定在整个晚上播放爵士乐,音量恰到好处:足够大,可以享受,但又不会太吵,影响谈话。这比现在许多场所越来越普遍的选择播放俱乐部音乐或摇滚乐要好得多,因为这种做法迫使顾客大声喊叫才能让同伴听到。选择播放优雅的爵士乐而不是尖叫声令人耳目一新,因为盛装打扮去吃饭并不像在当地汉堡店穿着短裤、背心和人字拖那样。总而言之,这是一个难忘的夜晚,值得细细品味,物有所值。事实上,我要修改我的开场白,说我们在斯科茨代尔弗莱明斯度过的夜晚是我们多年来最好的夜晚。
